Reflectance properties analysis of mineral based mortars for renders: research of their energy performance

Passive performance of buildings is nowadays one of the key points, not only for reducing energy consumption of buildings, but also for decreasing “fuel poverty”. Among the constructive systems in buildings, façades are the ones having higher influence on thermal performance in urban spaces. Lime renders are specialized systems which can improve not only the durability of the support but also the thermal properties. According to previous researches, a modification of their radiative properties can reduce thermal fluxes between 24% and 89%. In this paper, the influences of the aggregate content in lime pastes, as well as the nature of the aggregates, colour and roughness, on the visible near and medium infrared reflectance are analyzed. Ten types of aerial lime mortars were prepared and two methods of reflectance determination were performed. Finally, the effect of the resulted reflectance on the constructive systems of façades was analyzed using pseudotime-dependent software, for which an annulation of the thermal fluxes or significant reduction of them can be observed, when modifying the aggregate nature

Quantifying technical load and physical activity in professional soccer players during pre-season matches with IMU technology

This study aimed to record, analyze and quantify professional soccer players’ technical (TL) and physical load (PL) in friendly matches to compare their records during the first and second halves and between players with different positions. Eighteen professional soccer players, 24.6 ± 2.7 years, 1.78 ± 0.3 height (m), 74.6 ± 4.5 body mass (kg), 9.8 ± 2.2 body fat (%), and 65.6 ± 2.7 maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max, ml·kg-1·min-1) were monitored during six preseason friendly matches to analyze the activity profile using technical and physical variables through inertial measurement unit (IMU). No significant differences were found between the periods for the TL and PL. Significant differences were found between specific positions: Full Back (FB: n = 4), Central Defender (CD: n = 3), Midfielder (MD: n = 4), Winger (WG: n = 4), and Forward (FW: n = 3), both the TL and PL. We conclude that the PL profile based on his playing position is independent of the development of the PL shown during friendly matches. The monitoring, quantifying, and controlling of the TL added to the PL provides a more holistic vision of soccer players in friendly matches. The relative ease IMU application technology offers an alternative with less time-cost and more significant benefits than other types of technologies applied up to now

Las cubiertas ecológicas de tercera generación: un nuevo material constructivo - The ecological roofts of third generation: an new constructive material

En 1994 se inició una investigación que dio como resultado la construcción de la primera cubierta ecológica en España. Desde ese momento se han realizado modifi caciones en su estructura constructiva, en el sustrato empleado y en las plantas empleadas, con la intención de optimizar su comportamiento, adaptándola a las condiciones climáticas que se padecen de España. Todas estas modifi caciones han sido ensayadas y se ha evaluado rigurosamente su comportamiento energético. El resultado ha culminado en un modelo de cubierta, ya de una tercera generación, denominada como cubierta ecológica jardín. En este artículo se muestran, tanto los resultados de la investigación previa, como los correspondientes a la fase fi nal que culminó con ese nuevo modelo, considerado como un nuevo material constructivo, plenamente sostenible. - In 1994, the fi rst ecological roof in Spain was built as a result of a research process. The structure of the construction, the substrate, and the chosen plants have been modifi ed since then, in order to make the environmental properties optimum and to adapt it to extreme climatic conditions such as Spanish dry summers and frosted winters. All these changes have been tested and the energetic attitude has been studied. The best result is represented by a third generation roof model, called as an ecological garden roof. The present article describes the results obtained from the previous research as well as the fi nal process results

Design of a qualitative analysis model for audiovisual content linked to SDGs 5 and 10

[EN] This paper presents the process of designing a qualitative analysis model for its application in those audiovisual contents that present themes related to the Sustainable Development Goals collected by the UN in the 2030 Agenda; specifically, SDGs 5 and 10 which work on equality. The model is grounded on the methodological basis of audiovisual analysis by Mikos, Aumont and Marie, Gaudreault and Jost, among others. Some of their proposed analysis parameters have been improved for better applicability in audiovisual content seeking the cognitive and empathic participation of viewers on stories that represent events and actions contrary to sustainable development and social good. The design of this model has been tested in 19 short films developed by undergraduate students within the framework of an educational innovation project that is currently being developed at the Universitat Politècnica de València. The outcomes obtained from the experience are shown, as well as several ways of improvement of the model for its future application in other educational projects on SDGs.[ES] La presente comunicación expone el proceso de diseño de un modelo de análisis cualitativo para su aplicación en aquellos contenidos audiovisuales que presenten temáticas relacionadas con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenibles recogidos por la ONU en la Agenda 2030; en concreto, los ODS 5 y 10 que trabajan sobre la igualdad de género y la reducción de las desigualdades, respectivamente. A partir de las líneas metodológicas de análisis audiovisual puestas a punto por Mikos, Aumont y Marie, Gaudreault y Jost entre otros, se han refinado algunos de los parámetros de análisis propuestos para su mejor aplicabilidad en contenidos audiovisuales que buscan la participación cognitiva y empática de los espectadores ante unos relatos que representan acontecimientos contrarios al desarrollo sostenible y el bien social. El diseño del modelo ha sido testeado en 20 cortometrajes realizados por estudiantes de grado en el marco de un proyecto de innovación educativa que está siendo desarrollado actualmente en la Universitat Politècnica de València. Se muestran los resultados obtenidos de la experiencia y se proponen vías de mejora para su aplicación futura en otros proyectos educativos sobre ODS.Moral Martín, FJ.; Roger Monzó, V.; Barbero Abreu, C.

Physiological Responses of Tomato and Cucumber Seedlings under Different Light–Dark Cycles

Tomato and cucumber seedlings were grown in a growth chamber to evaluate the effects of different cycles of light–dark exposure conditions (T0 (control treatment) (1 cycle of 24 h distributed in 18 h of light exposure and six hours of dark), T1 (two cycles of 12 h distributed in nine hours of light exposure and three hours of dark) and T2 (three cycles of eight hours distributed in six hours of light exposure and two hours of dark) on growth, nutrient status, pigment concentration and physiological changes. Total dry weight showed different behaviors in both species, since in tomato the total dry weight remained unchanged under varying light–dark cycles, whereas in cucumber seedlings there was a clear decrease compared to the control treatment. In both species, plants grown under T2 showed the best water content. Nitrogen, P and K content—as well as partitioning in the different organs of the plants—displayed different patterns under varying cycles of light–dark conditions in both species. Chlorophyll (b and a + b) concentration decreased significantly in both species in T1 and T2 compared to the control treatment (T0). At physiological level, the concentration of total soluble sugars and proline in leaf showed the highest value in the control treatment with 18 h of light and six hours of dar

A dilated pore of winer in a young Iberian lynx (Lynx Pardinus)

A 1.5-year-old male Iberian lynx born in captivity presented with a 2.2 cm exophytic nodular alopecic mass at the left tarsus medial aspect, before being released into the wild. The lesion had keratinised material protruding through a 1.2 cm pore, forming a cutaneous horn. Histopathology revealed a cystic dermo-epidermal lesion lined by psoriasiform hyperplasia of the epithelium, thicker at the base of the cyst, together with abrupt to progressive keratinization and keratin pearls. The central cystic cavity was filled with fibrillary keratin and ghost cells. Immunohistochemistry for pan-cytokeratin showed strong positive immunolabeling in the hyperplastic epithelium and a weaker immunolabeling at the content of the cyst. A final diagnosis of a Dilated Pore of Winer was made. This paper is the first reported case of a DPW in a lynx and a wild felid

Cognitive Enhancers in Schizophrenia: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Alpha-7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Agonists for Cognitive Deficits and Negative Symptoms

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe and enduring disease and is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Cognitive impairment is a core clinical symptom that plays a crucial role in functional outcomes and prognosis, thus making it a relevant treatment target. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists (alpha 7 nAChR) as adjunctive treatment to enhance cognition and ameliorate negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Methods: A search strategy was developed for MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up to May 2019. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared antipsychotic treatment plus alpha 7 nAChR agonists with antipsychotic treatment plus placebo and determined their effects on the main cognitive domains proposed by the MATRICS initiative and on negative symptoms. Two authors independently reviewed study eligibility and data extraction and assessed the risk of bias of the studies included. According to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework, we used a random-effects model and assessed the quality of the evidence. Results: Thirteen studies were included in the quantitative analysis. No differences were found in any of the cognitive domains assessed in four RCTs (n = 414). In contrast, nine RCTs (n = 978) presented a small effect in support of alpha 7 nAChR agonists for negative symptoms [standardized mean difference -0.28, 95% CI (-0.56 to -0.00); P = 0.05], even though the confidence to support this evidence is low according to the GRADE system. Conclusions: Current evidence is too weak to consider alpha 7 nAChR agonists as an effective add-on treatment to antipsychotics to enhance cognition and negative symptoms.The work conducted at the University of the Basque Country was funded by public grants GIU14/27, PPGA18/03, and IT1232-1

Fluorinated Carbohydrates as Lectin Ligands: Simultaneous Screening of a Monosaccharide Library and Chemical Mapping by F-19 NMR Spectroscopy

Molecular recognition of carbohydrates is a key step in essential biological processes. Carbohydrate receptors can distinguish monosaccharides even if they only differ in a single aspect of the orientation of the hydroxyl groups or harbor subtle chemical modifications. Hydroxyl-by-fluorine substitution has proven its merits for chemically mapping the importance of hydroxyl groups in carbohydrate-receptor interactions. F-19 NMR spectroscopy could thus be adapted to allow contact mapping together with screening in compound mixtures. Using a library of fluorinated glucose (Glc), mannose (Man), and galactose (Gal) derived by systematically exchanging every hydroxyl group by a fluorine atom, we developed a strategy combining chemical mapping and F-19 NMR T-2 filtering-based screening. By testing this strategy on the proof-of-principle level with a library of 13 fluorinated monosaccharides to a set of three carbohydrate receptors of diverse origin, i.e. the human macrophage galactose-type lectin, a plant lectin, Pisum sativum agglutinin, and the bacterial Gal-/Glc-binding protein from Escherichia coli, it became possible to simultaneously define their monosaccharide selectivity and identify the essential hydroxyls for interactionAgencia Estatal de Investigacion (Spain) Grants CTQ2015-64597-C2-1-P and 2-P, RTI2018-094751-B-C21 and C22, Severo Ochoa Excellence Accreditation (SEV-2016-0644) European Research Council (RECGLYCANMR, Advanced Grant No. 788143), and CIBERES, an initiative from the Spanish Institute of Health Carlos III.
